Kipps: The New Half A Sixpence Musical, 15th to 18th May
In a timeless story of money, class and love, we meet Arthur Kipps, an orphan and overworked draper’s assistant at Shalford’s Bazaar in Folkestone in the early 1900s. He is a charming but ordinary young man who, along with his fellow apprentices, dreams of a better and more fulfilling life. When he unexpectedly inherits a fortune that propels him into high society, it confuses everything he thought he knew.
As well as delivering classic numbers from the original stage show, Kipps revisits H.G. Wells’s semi-autobiographical novel to refresh the story for a modern-day audience and highlight some of the important social changes going on at the time.
The result is an infectious, joyous journey, filled with musical favourites such as
If the Rain’s Got To Fall and the riotous Flash, Bang, Wallop as well as new, boardwalk-tapping numbers. A timeless yet contemporary production perfect for all the family and guaranteed to leave you smiling all the way home.
A Sainsbury Singers production.
Reviews of Peter Pan
9th December 2017 to 7th January 2018
Review from GetReading.
Peter Pan at The Hexagon is an extravagant and lively pantomime for the entire family
A typical pantomime spin on the JM Barrie classic that is bound to have you in stitches
"dripping with
melodrama, full of audience participation and as flamboyant as possible, The
Hexagon's Peter Pan is everything a pantomime should be... the
show was a roaring success that had children jumping in their seats and yelling
to the stage in excitement, with humour that even the adults could appreciate"
KHADIJA TABOADA
There is a review from Wokingham Today ("another smash-hit this Christmas... just the perfect blend of slapstick, slosh, songs and surprises ensuring a memorable night out... the packed theatre was full of people with beaming smiles on their faces... Peter Pan flies high and a must-see festive treat. It’s a feel good show that gets the whole family laughing and laughing and laughing" - 5 stars).
